MPs proudly wore the title of "winning tossers" as the annual parliamentary pancake day race saw media members and the Lords take them on in the charity challenge.

The Commons team stormed to victory for Rehab charity in Victoria Gardens outside the Houses of Parliament on Tuesday (February 28).

Raising money for the charity, which helps those with physical and learning difficulties, the Shrove Tuesday tradition sees journalists, House of Lords peers and MPs don their competitive streak and flip to the finish line.

MP Tracey Crouch for Chatham and Aylesford who took the lead during the race and following the steps of MP Clive Lewis who sealed the deal last year, said: "Flipping excellent victory for the Commons team".

The Ealing MP was the subject of controversy after some took to social media to accuse him of cheating.

The first of the annual event began in 1998 and has raised money for Rehab ever since.

A spokesman for the charity said: "Despite all the fun and frolics of the event over the last 18 years, the Rehab Parliamentary Pancake Race has served to raise awareness of the work that Rehab does in enhancing the life chances of people with disabilities and others who are socially-excluded in the UK."
